If you have this issue when you go through the browser this is actually a glitch that I have seen on a lot of sites, not sure why it happens. Try this trick, click on the URL bar like you are going to enter a new address, you should get the keyboard popup. then click back in the text box you want to type in and you should see the popup keyboard.

The clients are just that, mail clients. They are faster, easier to use and more secure that doing email via the browser.

1. Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't work.

2. I also tried a Hotmail app.....and like with the GMail app, I prefer using the browser.

On my hotmail account with the stock browser I also see the problem of getting the keyboard to pop up.

Persistence and tapping twice usually triggers it. You just have to try harder.

This is a microsoft site, and they are not friendly to Android, and I suspect they have done everything in their
power to make it really crappy on Android. I do know that site runs a boatload of scripts.

Best results I have had was with the Opera Browser, free in the market. Second best was with Dolphin for pad (free in market).

But I really don't understand this desire to do everything in the browser. There are multiple Email apps that you could use which work so much better than a browser, and eliminate all of that silly interface that they hang on there. Even the stock Mail app that comes on android knows how to set up hotmail in 30 seconds flat, and it just works!!!. Why fight a cluttered web page? Is this a case of the only tool you know how to use being a hammer causing you to look at every problem as if it were a nail?
